[Manna - February 25]
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4
WE are to learn the lesson that a man's life consists not in the abundance of things which he possesseth—food and raiment—but that his life, in the fullest,
grandest, highest sense, is dependent upon his complete
submission to the divine will—his careful attention
to every word that proceedeth out of the mouth
of God...—every admonition, every encouragement, every
promise, is necessary to the development of those
whom God is now calling to eternal life as joint-heirs
with His Son in the Kingdom.
Let us then, more and
more, as the disciples, pupils, of the Lord Jesus, keep
in memory and act upon the suggestion of the words
of this text. Z.'02-246,248 R3058:5; 3060:4
